So-So by Fatema H Kagalwala, Business of Cinema ...The film, although well executed, follows the production house formula of a controversial story stir-fried with two scoops love sautéed in five scoops emotion and garnished with five scoops drama.... full review
Thumbs down by Yasser Usmaan, DearCinema ...same old honesty versus money confrontation... full review
Thumbs down by Deep, Deep's Home ...Very good music, very good cinematography but what was bad then? The story.. it was very poor, execution was pretty bad too, specially the climax... full review
Thumbs down by Shubhra Gupta, Express India ...Jannat has been engineered for the scruffy charms of its leading man, and the rows of youngsters on Friday's first show didn't seem to want more... full review
Thumbs up by Martin D'souza, Glamsham.com ...But this is one film where I'm willing to overlook the flaws and view the film in its entirety... full review
Thumbs down by Khalid Mohamed, Hindustan Times ...Kiss spotters are likely to be disappointed too. The closest you get to the Hashmieseque lip-a-loola is a smooch in silhouette. Tsk... full review
Thumbs down by Savio Zacharia, Indiaglitz ...The second half too has nothing much to offer with the cops and bad guys enveloping poor Emraan and his love story.... full review
Thumbs down by Gaurav Malani, indiatimes ... The love story in Jannat resorts to the archaic templates of the 80s while the backdrop theme of match-fixing on which the film is formulated is least exploited in its screenplay.... full review
So-So Indicine ...Jannat is slow paced throughout and therefore tends to get a little boring to sit through... full review
So-So Intermission, The Bookeazy Blog ...The audience were laughing when she tells Emraan that she loves him.... full review
Thumbs down by Damini Berry, merinews ...Emraan Hashmi, handsome as usual, looks just the same and acts just the same as in his previous movie... full review
Thumbs down Movie Talkies ...Their courtship consists only of sequences showing Arjun taking Zoya out on dates, feeding her and buying her gifts. There is hardly any romance here.... full review
Thumbs up by Taran Adarsh, IndiaFM ...You can't imagine JANNAT without Emraan Hashmi. Right from his debut film FOOTHPATH to JANNAT, the actor has only grown with the passage of time.... full review
Thumbs up by Abhishek Bandekar, Buzz18 ...Sonal Chauhan is a known model. She has done some popular commercials and falls in line with all the rest of the models who simply cannot act to save their lives.... full review
So-So by Aparajita Ghosh, Apun Ka Choice ...After a while the story seems to go in circles. On top of it you don’t strongly relate to the emotional turmoil of the lead characters.... full review
So-So by Vijay, MovieWalah ...What's missing is the under developed and seemingly forced Bob Woolmer's mysterious murder in the narration... full review
So-So by Subhash K Jha, Now Running.com ..."Jannat" lacks the resonance and staying power of some of Bhatt's earlier films... full review
Thumbs down by Siddharth Pillai, Passion for Cinema ...Imagine my surprise when I, in my full senses, started to enjoy the movie. It happened somewhere in mid to late first half.....‘Jannat’ ends up as a mediocrity.... full review
So-So by Hanumant Bhansali, Radio Sargam ...Sonal Chauhan is good looking and needs some more movies to prove her potential.... full review
So-So by Raja Sen, Rediff ...it coasts along smoothly without really boring you... full review
So-So by Sonia Chopra, Sify Movies ...The quality of dialogue (Sanjay Masoom, The Train, Krrish) is inconsistent... full review
So-So by Kavita Ogale, Times Now ...nfused with a love story at its core, Jannat is as much about a lover as much as it is about his greed to make big bucks through unscrupulous ways.... full review

Thought it might be of your INTEREST :)
posted 2 years, 3 months agoThis movie started off very well but then started to become boring. Some of the dialogues were ripped off from "Lord of War" with match fixing replacing arms-dealing. And the girl could dance in a bar (and still keep her "izzat") but betting and match-fixing were too "immoral" for her. And the way Emraan was killed at the end totally pissed me off. Couldn't he just tell cops he is going to pick up the ring?
posted 2 years, 3 months agoThat's an interesting list there Rohit, I should check how many of them I've seen.
Vikram, I thought the point was that by dancing in a bar she wasn't doing any harm, but by betting and gambling, Emraan was making money that aided terrorism.

@silvano, what are you talking about in the 4th comment (with respect to Tashan). What do you mean by "you overrated [it]"? It's already been given the worst rating possible.
